What's new in User Management Tool 1.7.6

If the UMT cannot read the user's disabled state, we leave the user as "unknown" and populate a message requesting the UMT to be run in elevated mode.

Fixed an odd bug where if a Group rule is added to the UMT and a user in that group is not in ShareFile (or going to be in ShareFile via User rule) then that user was being created as a client.

If the user adds a ShareFile secondary email address through the ShareFile web application, the UMT is now aware of such actions.

Fixed a bug where after a rule has been created and successfully run, the Refresh button fails to show any newly added members of the group in the Actions column unless UMT is restarted.

Management Tool 1.7.3

When you update a rule that is part of scheduled jobs, the User Management Tool displays a message to remind you to update the jobs.

What's new in User
Management Tool 1.7.1

A new global option lets you choose whether to continue scheduled jobs when the User Management Tool cannot process a rule due to a problem such as a missing last name or email address in an Active Directory record. Previously, the tool always stopped jobs when it encountered an error. By default, the User Management Tool now continues to the next rule after an error occurs.

The tool also skips subsequent rules that are based on the same AD object as a rule that resulted in an error. For example, if the action to create users for a particular AD group fails, the tool also skips an action to create a distribution group for the same AD group. This prevents the creation of a distribution group with members that are not yet created as ShareFile users.

The Options page includes a Save or Close button so you know whether your changes have been saved.

Scheduled jobs can now use the proxy settings configured for the User Management Tool even if those jobs are run under a different account, such as a Windows service account. This feature requires configuration, as described in the "Configure a proxy server" section of Configure the User Management Tool.

Per-user storage quota for ShareFile files and folders. Specify the quota when provisioning accounts with the User Management Tool.

If your site uses ShareFile Two-Step Verification, you must use a password that is specific to the User Management Tool to log on to it.

The User Management Tool will create a new distribution group if it finds a distribution group name in ShareFile that matches an AD group name. The tool will not combine the AD group with the existing distribution group.
